<P>
In this section, the programs <tt> lastest</tt>, <tt> vectopt</tt>,
<tt> matropt</tt>, and <tt> msltest</tt> are described.
<P>
<P>
<P>
The first three programs have been developed in order to test
and optimize selected operations in the <tt> LASPack</tt>
  library.
Their syntax
<PRE>  lastest [-d&lt;dim&gt;] [-c&lt;cycles&gt;] [-h]
  vectopt [-d&lt;dim&gt;] [-c&lt;cycles&gt;] [-h]
  matropt [-d&lt;dim&gt;] [-c&lt;cycles&gt;] [-h]
</PRE>
and options
<PRE>  -d  set vector and matrix dimensions to &lt;dim&gt;, default is 10000
  -c  set number of cycles to &lt;cycles&gt;, default is 10
  -h  print the help
</PRE>
are the same.
The dimensions as well as the number of cycles should be chosen high enough
in order to avoid undesired caching effects and inaccuracy
of time determination.
